Post a favorite pic or story from 2015. Lets re-cap the year. (Reposts are ok too.)

Well it was such a great year for flying its hard to pick a favourite picture but ive narrowed it down to 2

In second place comes this one, a nice little morning flight with a quick stop on the beach



But the winner for me has to be standing atop highboy with rob and his magnuficent maule!

That is spectacular Tim, I love the first pic, and I love the second one even more because we saw the look in your eyes and got to share your enthusiasm! You are an inspiration to all of us.

My highlights:

o Young Eagles in Mexico, taking 25 of the best students from a local school up for rides. Video below...
o Visiting my friends new fly-in community and being surprised by a full on BBQ by the runway. Video below...
o Flying in and out of our farm in Wisconsin all summer as a matter of routine. Video below...
o Exhibiting at Airventure for the first time with Plane Perfect
o Having a successful first year with Plane Perfect. Video below...

In 2015 I soloed. Looking forward to getting my private's in 2016!

Being with my favorite Mates, "DownUnder"...

#1 Best outback flying for me:

This is the real deal.

Somewhere near the Idaho/Wyoming border, at 8900' I think it was. Really cool vegetation I hadn't come across on other similar LZ's, and the ground underneath (largely hard to read from the air due to the veg) was SUPER SMOOTH That never happens but it did this day.

A couple of visual highlights for me. Flying in to Copalis Beach is not particularly challenging, but it is spectacularly beautiful. Here's a shot of a flying friend taking off in his Maule after we met there for a picnic lunch


Here's a shot of my plane at the small farm strip where I keep my plane when visiting mom in Portland, OR


Here's a couple of shots from the High Sierra Fly-in, another real highlight of the year



It was a good first year with my plane in the Pacific Northwest. I'm hoping and planning for more adventures in 2016!

Good pics, all!

Despite logging fewer hours, 2015 was probably one of my most enjoyable flying years to date. I made some new friends and explored some places I've dreamed of my whole life.

Wrangells with Bigrenna, Akgreg, Larry, and Squash:






Will update with more... Have to go through security.

Flying the DoubleEnder with Alec:



First time to 1000 yards in Idaho:

Flying-camping highlight of 2015 for me was my trip to Hell's Canyon and Idaho with my son in June.

2015 was great. 2016 will be better! Nothing better than AK.
I'm not sure I can even get pics posted. I read the directions but not sure about my attention span.


Ivory!

Playing.

10000 smokes

Last pickup of the fall! Always a relief to be done with no expensive things breaking.

I always love a good rainstorm in the desert.

You guys are amazing, keep 'em coming!

"...If you love somebody...set them free..." specifically in SouthEast Alaska & British Columbia:

Our best "Impressionist" shot from 2015.

Something you don't see every day. Not spectacular by any means, but different. Our ski area in early December this season. Thank god for snowguns!
